Received a phone call from this number. No voice message left.

That's exactly what I've been doing and the idiot keeps answering the phone.

Same thing here. Got the call in Florida. I will start calling him from an unavailable number to bug the crap out of him.

Got the same message above from Damon Smith asking him to return the call and that he is from IRS. Will report it to the IRS.

They called me today too, this scum bags need to stopped, i don't even see the point of the call, only that they scare the crap out people for no good reason, anyway now i am on this scam, and will make more people aware of it.

Just got the call 2hours ago When I told him I need to see all that he was claiming in writing he said the police and fbi will be here in the morning with the papers.  I googled his number and then called him back and told him to go f@#$ himself.  I'm calling him every hour to curse him out.

WASHINGTON ? The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver?s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

?This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,? says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. ?If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don?t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn?t the IRS calling.? Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim?s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it?s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver?s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here?s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue ? if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don?t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you?ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you?ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their ?FTC Complaint Assistant? at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

The same guy called several times and left a voicemail at my home number asking me to contact him soon regarding an IRS case filed against me.  When I called him back, he told me that in five minutes a police officer is going to arrive where i am and is going to arrest me.  Also he said that no attorney or CPA can do anything for me.  BTW the call was 30 mnts ago.. I'm still waiting.

I've been scammed already for a lot of money I knew I owed that much to the IRS. I don't know how he got my information.

This guy called me.. and left same exact message as it is talked here.

Someone needs to stop this before somebody gets scammed....

The same guy called and left a voicemail at my home number asking me to contact him soon regarding an IRS case filed against me.  When I called him back, I could hear the call center people in the background.  I was asked to leave my number which I didn't.

I got a call from this number twice claiming that he was from IRS and his name was Daniel Smith and told us that I have a law suit against me...

I informed my CPA who called the number.  He talked to a person who demand to have my name and ss#.  After my CPA asking him to identify himself and the office he is associated with.  He hung up immediately!

So, be careful out there!

My phone called happened on December 9, 2013 at 9:01 a.m.  It said in an Indian (India) voice:  "This message is intended for you. My name is Damon Smith.  I am calling from the IRS, that is the Internal Revenue Services.  And the reason I am giving you a phone call is to let you know regarding your lawsuit we just filed against you by the IRS.  So, the very second you receive this message I need you to return this call.  The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive.  My Hot line to my division is 716-226-6940.  I repeat that 716-226-6940.  Don't disregard this message and do return the call."

I just got a call from this guy as well. He claimed to be irs. Then when I asked him why the phone number is 716 area he told me had a local . Any way point is they are a scam and u should report them to IRS immediately

I got the call from this number saying that IRS has filed lawsuit against me. Really, they thought I'll fall for that.

received call 1 month ago, same voice using different name representing IRS and claiming tax fraud. it's a scam. just called my number again today, from different phone number using a different alias from IRS. received nothing in mail from IRS so yet another scam. beware.

Don't answer to this guy. He is a scammer don't believe him!!!

I just got this call too. Man with an Indian accent. Obviously this is a big scam.

we have rec'd several phone calls from the same number.  I work in the tax industry and typcially the IRS does not make phone calls without a notice first. I called back and could hear the call center people in the background (spoke with "Damian Smith and Attorney David Cooper").  I have sent an e-mail to the IRS' phishing department. I have igorned the call and blocked their number.

i need to know if this is IRS number so they said
